the beginning of the end

[airlockedmods]

[After everyone has had the chance to pack up their items and get in all those last minute hugs, SISCE is waiting for them by the information desk in her hardlight hologram SIS form. She seems distracted while she picks up a few small things from her desk: a letter, a slightly terrifying stuffed animal and a few other odds and ends. She turns to look at them as her Champions approach, her brows furrowed in concern.]

Hello, everyone. I need to talk to you all about something. Will you come with me to the bathrooms?

There's... there's a lot. Let's split up and go through all of it.

[She's going to do her part to go through one of the shelves. What kind of stuff are we looking at?]

If you find anything that looks important, take it.

[It looks like props and set dressing! Some of these are normal pieces of furniture, like chairs and a few long metal tables, but a lot are strange. There's things like what seems to be an enormous model of the water cycle, and a lot of unnecessarily intricate systems of beakers and tubes.

It all sort of looks like a child's vision of important scientific equipment.]

[induality]

Would it really just be with all these props and sets?

[--she says. but she's looking anyway. For anything that looks like it could be computer-related, even if it's just electronic set pieces or props among the child's scientific equipment. There might be other files besides the one Church found. Either way she's gonna look around just in case. No stone unturned.]

[Okay wait actually this seems like a good place to roll for Knowledge (Educational Television). Any of this stuff look Extremely Familiar to our resident Yl'lb Ein, the Science Mind fan?]

[airlockedmods]

[It sure as shit does, my good girl!]

[daughterofthemark]

These are from Sir Yl'lb's series.

[Wow, it's... kind of saddening to think of poor Yl'lb now, knowing that he's probably living all by himself again.

But she can dwell on that later. Better keep looking. At least she doesn't have to waste time trying to figure out whether Wilhelmina's memories are in the model recycling center.]

...I guess that makes sense. The production pieces probably belong to them.

[They think this all this is theirs but. Too bad.]

But we can't let them have this.

...I hope nothing has happened to him. The network must have known he was harboring us...
